The discussion on the Stolen Valor thread has gone down what I consider an absurd route, but so it goes. However, for those who assert a theory of victimless crimes being contrary to common law and constitutional law, I would ask that you spot for me any crimes I may commit in the follow hypothetical. (Also, as regards prostitution and how it is victimless, I would ask that you reconcile that with the common law tort of Alienation of Affections<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Vt Woody is my arch nemesis. We loathe each other. And it has gotten worse since we both starting vying for the attention of the same cheerleader. Each day I sat in the dark scheming. My neighbor Herbert asked me to come spend some time with him and his dog Jesse. As I explained everything to him he said that nothing would make me feel better than to spend some time with young boys. So Herbert calls to all the boys in the neighborhood and they come over. Now Herbert is creepy, so he gives all the boys sleeping pills to knock them out. Only, they are Flintstone chewables, and the boys go home. Herbert is broken hearted, and has a heart attack and dies right there.<\/p>\n

Now Herbert is a gun collector, and he has told me that he wants his remains burned with his guns. Instead though, I use his skull to fashion a really lovely lamp, while I ponder what to do to VT Woody. At long last I take one of Herbert’s guns, and a silencer, and head down to the football stadium. Now, because I was raised in a Tibettan Monastary by ninjas, I am able to unlock the gate, and then scale the side of the building with my sniper rifle. I hide in the lights and wait for VT Woody and his troop of cheeleaders (including the chick) to arrive.<\/p>\n

Finally the game starts, and out they both come. I take aim and fire. Now, on account of being a shitty shot, I miss. But, because it is silenced, no one hears it. I take aim again. Nothing. I do this 8 times before a police officer sees me, and arrests me.<\/p>\n

Now, what crime(s) have I committed under the theory that only crimes which have a victim are actionable?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
